History
Iejigawa Station opened on 1 March 1974 as an unstaffed intermediate halt on the Japanese National Railways Yodo Line, in what is now the town of Shimanto in Kōchi Prefecture. After the 1987 privatisation of JNR, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku. The station sits on an embankment with a single side platform served by a single track, and is the southernmost station on the JR Shikoku network. At 185.5 m above sea level it is also the highest station on the Yodo Line. There is no station building — only a platform shelter — and the station is not wheelchair accessible.

Notes
Although the place name is normally spelled "iejigawa" in modern kana, the station alone retains the older spelling "iedjigawa" (いえぢがわ).
